Reserving previously reserved files that are shared with the temple
I have reserved some family names that were previously reserved by someone else then shared with the temple. They have given me 90 days to complete them. I am in the Mount Timpanogus Temple District. The temple seems to be opening up too slowly for me to complete this soon. I have made one reservation to complete 5 initiatories in mid September and am now locked out of making any more reservations until after I have completed that reservation. Will there be extentions for these ordinances?

What happens to my ordinance reservation during the COVID-19 outbreak?
April 20, 2020
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and temple closures, FamilySearch is temporarily suspending all temple ordinance expiration dates until the temples reopen.
- Reservations for temple ordinances will not expire while temples are closed.
- An expiration date less than 90 days in the future will be extended to 90 days. Once temples reopen, the person holding the reservation will have 90 days to complete the ordinance.
- An expiration date that is scheduled more than 90 days in the future will be automatically rescheduled, day by day, until temples reopen. This means that if a particular reservation expires in 100 days, the 100-day period won’t begin until temples reopen.

Keep checking the expiration date on your reservation page. You should see that the date rolls forward one day every day. This is suppose to happen until most temples are fully open. Phase three, which is sounds like you are in, is not fully open.
If worse comes to worse, when day 89 arrives, simply have the ID numbers for those five people recorded so you don't lose track of them, go to each one's Ordinance page in Family Tree,, unreserve the names, then immediately re-reserve them.
